TALK

Beyond the State Machine: scaling order orchestration at Booking.com

ABSTRACT

When Booking.com transitioned from single-product orders to complex multi-product bundles, our AWS Step Functions architecture hit a wall of unmanageable complexity. In this session, we share our journey of how we evolved to a code-first orchestration platform using Temporal to manage dynamic, high-scale order flows and how it boosted our development speed. Join to explore our technical evaluation, the pros and cons of different engines, and the results we achieved while testing Temporal performance.
